Yeah, he did, I agree with you, Hendrix was great because he was original, and fucking fast for his time too, he wrote some amazingly timeless blues tunes, and will forever be remebered for what he did. All I'm saying is that Technically he has been surpassed by many, from Zakk Wylde to Alexi Laiho, I prefer Stevie Ray Vaughans playing too, thats all I'm saying. They are technically superior, hell, even I can play most of Hendrix's songs and solos, but that doesn't detract from their amazingness in any way.
